Help finding a Tamiya part
So, Ijust found out today that I'm missing a screw from my brand new Brat. Didn't even get three battery packs worth of running.
It is a 3x8mm step screw that holds the front wheel carrier to the front suspension. Part BD2, from ScrewBag D.
TamiyaUSA is out of stock. The only one I can find on ebay is in the UK, for $13 + God knows how much shipping, waiting, and hassle.
Got a busted Frog, Lancia, or Brat and can spare a screw?
Can anyone help a brother out?

RE: Help finding a Tamiya part
Mine are all 4mmx10 too bad (nice when yours strips out perhaps) Is there a part number like this 50585 in addition to BD2?

RE: Help finding a Tamiya part
I saw parts set (tree) D, but not Screw Bag D anyway.
I went to Ace Hardware, bought the right size metric screw and "simulated the step portion" with some heat shrink tubing. Then, I Loc-Tited it in place when it had been tightened enough. That should hold it until I can source the proper screw.
I'm thinking of looking for a wrecked Frog as a parts vehicle. We'll see what turns up.

Ah! I see it, Screw Bag D for the Frog! $7.
It says he has qty. 2. I enquired about shipping for one. (should be cheap, since they could just be dropped in an envelope since I'm in the US)
